Another day, another visit to Gruga. The ophthalmologist has prescribed Lumi spending at least an hour outside during mid-day, to relax her (growing) eyes, as a means to preventing myopia from getting worse. So that's what we are doing every day.

We went to Duisburg, where the Ironman event was happening. We arrived about midday, just in time for the running part of the triathlon. It was incredibly hot, so the shower stations were quite popular with the runners, which – in turn – made for some quite spectacular images.

Today I finally managed to get some creative work done for myself! I finished the layout of the first of four zines, containing all of the images of the currently running 366 project. I decided to go with one „issue“ per quarter, as I would never fit all of the images into one book (it's just too many). I also love the magazine format, so this will also be a lot cheaper to produce. Not sure if anyone other than me would be interested in owning a copy, but if so, let me know. Blurb shipping is always ridiculously expensive, so ordering in bulk could help with that. And I also would be able to sign your copy. 😉

@florianziegler Ich denke bei meinem Projekt auch über ein Magazin oder Buch nach. Und ja, die schiere Menge ist eine Herausvorderung. Ich hatte auch mal an eine Art „Best of“ gedacht aber eigentlich ist die Sache mit dem täglichen Foto ja auch das spannende. Mal schauen. Bin gespannt auf dein Ergebnis.
@oliverbrux Ja, solche Überlegungen hatte ich auch. Wollte aber schon gerne alle Bilder drin haben (und nicht grade 10 Stück auf einer einzelnen Seite). Dass es dann doch auch mal mehr als ein Foto pro Tag ist, macht es auch nicht einfacher. 😊
